Reviews of Elk Falls Suspension Bridge (Architect)

Mark Bussanich

The walk from the parking lot is a quite quick! Lots of trails, clean outhouse and the views are excellent. The suspension bridge has high railings and is surrounded by chainlink! Very safe but if you are any thing like me, your stomach will turn when you take your first step on to the bridge haha The views from both the bridge and the Lower deck provide an incredible vantage point showcasing a mesmerizing waterfall that crashes into the creek below. Id love to return one day soon!!

It's a small trek down the path but stairs to the bridge. Beautiful area to see. A huge sarcastic thanks to the one couple who's dog was let off leash and bit my mom in the leg. Their reaction was to ignore it and say nothing.

So cool. A bit sketchy, but it's clear that it's well maintained. Wings quite a bit which is gun if bridges don't scare you. Definitely recommend. Photo taken from the bridge.

Nice trail. Well maintained. Lots of parking. Decent amount of people. Restrooms accessible

AJ

Beautiful park! Great hiking! I do warn dog owners the metal bridge and steps can tear dogs pads to shreds. Please be aware the metal on the steps and bridge is Sharpe on their feet.

Nadine Loucks

Great long hike. Lots of downhill and then uphill walking. Beautiful place to go if you love walking and nature.

Braden Nakonechny

Easy, walk on trails, beautiful falls. You can get right down to the water.

Visit this place if you are in Campbell River. Not too far from the hwy. This location is kind of not marked very well. GPS was also not clear. Drove all the way over a dam and then asked a few locals and got directed back to this place. So note this when you go here. Beautiful area and the suspension bridge is great too with various viewing areas.

Dan Yang

Parking is very convenient. It is not a far hike down to the falls and the suspension bridge. Beautiful water fall, trails are nice and well maintained. Highly recommend to others that want to see something beautiful that doesnt take up a whole day.

I love the Elk falls and the new, well newish now,. Is always a beautiful ???? walk. The stairs are challenging as I have bad knees but oh so worth the climb. The views from the bridge and lookout points are stellar. I first walked along the Falls and the river over 10 years ago and have appreciated the changes and improvements that have been made over the years.

Beautiful trail, easy walking

Lacey Nutt

The bridge is fantastic. Thanks Rotary! There is a lot of stairs. The view is amazing! Short walk from parking lot. In my latest photo...people are not to smart to get that close....scary!

Dwayne Bennett

Tom Luszcz

Tara Chic

Etienne Brown

Good views of the falls, short walk on new and well maintained path to the suspension bridge.

Meesh

Easy and short walk from the parking lot! Great view of the waterfall from the middle of the suspension bridge as well as from a lower lookout point adjacent to the bridge.

Star Lord

Such a great place to visit at Strathcona Provincial Park area, great trail and fantastic falls.

Ben Grantham

Worth the drive and the hike into the site. The river makes a sharp left hand turn immediately after rolling over the falls, and it's produced an interesting chasm below the bridge. New and well maintained structures help to alleviate the usual suspension bridge related apprehension many might experience.

Brenda Bauer

A short walk along well maintained trail. The falls are magnificent as is the Suspension Bridge. Several other short trails are in the area and all are very well marked. There are maps at every trail intersection. Very impressed! Parking lot is easy to find on Brewster Road. Outhouses and BC Hydro Information Centre there as well and just a couple minutes drive to the dam.

Don't listen to the naysayers: There's nothing "artificial" or "lame" about the suspension bridge or waterfall! I guess if you were spoiled by Capilano or Lynn Valley, you might be expecting something grandiose, but what you have here is a decent, pleasant hike to a lovely series of steps and bridges that brings you to a lovely bridge over a picturesque valley, with the roaring Elk Falls to the left. I loved the hike and was utterly mesmerised by the waterfall. I highly recommend the trip for everyone and look forward to coming back myself one day.

Breathingly beautiful

GWoo

Fantastic view of the falls now that the new viewing area has been completed. Well made, the suspension bridge allows for a unforgettable experience.

JIM CALOMBARIS

About a 15 minute walk to the bridge and falls!

Sean Feagan

Fantastic forest and wondrous waterfall

Cindy Tang

suspension bridge is right next to elk falls. The view is amazing. The bridge got see through bottoms and sides, and people who is afraid of heights probably have a hard time to cross.

Gazal

Amazing View of the fall from the Suspension bridge. Please do go to the old lookout too.

Monsters Many

The bridge just goes over the falls nothing on the other side. Water level was down. Nice walk down, but multiple stairs at the bottom. Bridge is more wiggly than I expected There are wash rooms there

This is a really neat find when you are in or near Campbell River. The trail maps could be better... and Google's own trail maps seem incomplete (not all the trails are shown) but it's a very impressive waterfall. The trails allow several different views and the easiest ones are probably fairly accessible for older people or people just getting started with hiking. The trails are short and the viewing platforms are solid with great safety railings. Dogs will probably find the metal grating uncomfortable though but it's really safe and non-skid for people. The improved access was created as part of a community project in cooperation with BC Hydro. As part of seismic upgrades the power house and penstocks are being replaced. The originals seem here (made of WOOD! and cables) will be removed soon and no one will see site again. The new waterflow is a tunnel. Really a neat walk. Glad we found it.

Must see

Great short hike to spectacular Elk Falls. Suspension bridge over the Canyon and falls. Multiple short hikes along the river and through the rain forest. I sat on the waters edge and soaked my feet in the cool water up stream of the Elk Falls near a second set of falls. I wish I would have taken my bathing suit so I could have taken a swim. There were others swimming in the river and the lake.

Julieta Morawski

The hike to the falls is good just 35 min to and from. Great view.

amber curtin

Cool little walk with a waterfall at the end. The suspension bridge is pretty awesome too, it's pretty high and gives a good view

Mark Nagra

Fantastic walk down to the falls, with Covid social distancing signs on the trail and the suspension bridge above the falls. What a great place to see.

Mark Ratclifffe

Spectacular place to visit. Lots of easy going trails and the view if the falls is magnificent. Highly recommended.

Victoria Ray

Well worth the walk from parking lot. Amazing cedar and fir trees. The waterfalls can be viewed from a number of vantage points.

Raining all day November 27th 2021. We had the trails and Suspension Bridge mainly to ourselves! The Falls were in full force! So powerful and loud. What an experience to witness. Soooo exhilarating!! A once in a lifetime sight with the atmospheric rains BC has been receiving.
